Healey Returns to Defense | Belfast News

Defense chief Mr. Healey, who resigned in June over concerns about underfunding and military readiness, is back in government — this time leading the very department he once criticized. A veteran Labour MP with decades of experience in housing, local government, and the Treasury, Healey has long been a vocal advocate for defense, warning the armed forces are “far worse than we thought” and not ready to fight. Despite his past objections to the defense investment plan, his return signals renewed focus on military preparedness, with sources calling him a trusted, internationally respected figure aligned with the Prime Minister.
